I don't get the tradeoff of USB sound. I don't know about you guys, but my USB lines have enough going on as it is... sound over USB just seems inappropriate? I'm one of those guys who supports the Visteon units. They work awesome and Mitch put a lot of development into his cables and software. At a cheaper price, seems more logical to me.

Then again, I've never tried the BoomzBox interface before. I wouldn't either.

Well some of us don't have the extra stereo line in and it comes in handy for that. Hell I don't have any line in and I'm thrilled to have USB audio.

Couldn't you get a USB soundcard + a Visteon + the cable for less than a BoomzBox?

Visteons are starting to go up in price as they get more and more rare (they stopped making them a while back). That, plus all the normal noise issues with using a line-in and driver issues with cheaper usb sound cards... yada yada.

Yeah you could probably do it cheaper, just like you can build a carpc for $50, or for $300. It's a matter of quality, and ease of use. I'm a huge fan of the boomzbox, having used both methods (Visteon + USB and boomzbox) I can tell you that the boomzbox is well worth the investment.
